Welcome to the Grassroots Roundtable for grassroots and public affairs professionals. The Grassroots Roundtable is an informal group of public affairs professionals with grassroots responsibilities.

Its meetings -- occurring on the first Friday of each month -- encourage participants to interact with their peers and exchange innovative ideas and information in the area of grassroots. Through this exchange, the Grassroots Roundtable strives to advance the 'science' and professionalism of grassroots advocacy.

As the Roundtable continues to grow and evolve, we are pleased to have such an impressive list of grassroots practitioners to help guide the organization and assist with topic/speaker ideas for the 2003 luncheons. We would like to thank them in advance for their time.
